                      SCENE I。 London。 The palace 



     Enter    RICHARD�察       �JOHN     OF    GAUNT�察      �with   other   NOBLES        and 

attendants 

       KING     RICHARD。        Old   John   of   Gaunt�察  �time´honoured       Lancaster�察�

Hast thou�察�according to thy oath and band�察�Brought hither Henry Hereford�察�

thy bold son�察�Here to make good the boist'rous late appeal�察�Which then our 

leisure    would    not  let  us  hear�察 �Against    the  Duke    of   Norfolk�察  �Thomas 

Mowbray�拭       �GAUNT。       I  have�察  �my    liege。  KING      RICHARD。        Tell   me�察�

moreover�察�hast thou sounded him If he appeal the Duke on ancient malice�察�

Or    worthily�察  �as   a  good    subject   should�察   �On   some    known     ground    of 

treachery in him�拭�GAUNT。 As near as I could sift him on that argument�察�

On     some    apparent    danger    seen   in   him   Aim'd    at  your    Highness´no 

inveterate malice。 KING RICHARD。 Then call them to our presence�此�face 

to face And frowning brow to brow�察�ourselves will hear The accuser and 

the accused freely speak。 High´stomach'd are they both and full of ire�察�In 

rage�察�deaf as the sea�察�hasty as fire。 

       Enter BOLINGBROKE and MOWBRAY 

       BOLINGBROKE。   Many   years   of   happy   days   befall   My   gracious 

sovereign�察�my most loving liege� �MOWBRAY。 Each day still better other's 

happiness Until the heavens�察�envying earth's good hap�察�Add an immortal 

title   to   your   crown�   �KING   RICHARD。  We   thank   you   both�察  �yet   one   but 

flatters us�察�As well appeareth by the cause you come�察�Namely�察�to appeal 

each   other   of   high   treason。   Cousin   of   Hereford�察  �what   dost   thou   object 

Against the Duke of Norfolk�察�Thomas Mowbray�拭�BOLINGBROKE。 First´ 

heaven   be   the   record   to   my   speech�   �In   the   devotion   of   a   subject's   love�察�

Tend'ring      the  precious     safety   of  my    prince�察   �And    free   from    other 

misbegotten      hate�察  �Come     I  appellant    to  this  princely   presence。     Now�察�

Thomas Mowbray�察�do I turn to thee�察�And mark my greeting well�察�for what 

I   speak   My   body   shall   make   good   upon   this   earth�察  �Or   my   divine   soul 

answer it in heaven´ Thou art a traitor and a miscreant�察�Too good to be so�察�

and too bad to live�察�Since the more fair and crystal is the sky�察�The uglier 

seem the clouds that in it fly。 Once more�察�the more to aggravate the note�察�

With    a  foul   traitor's  name   stuff  I  thy   throat�察 �And   wish´so    please   my

sovereign´ere I move�察�What my tongue speaks�察�my right drawn sword may 

prove。 MOWBRAY。 Let not my cold words here accuse my zeal。 'Tis not 

the trial of a woman's war�察�The bitter clamour of two eager tongues�察�Can 

arbitrate this cause betwixt us twain�察�The blood is hot that must be cool'd 

for   this。 Yet   can   I   not   of   such   tame   patience   boast As   to   be   hush'd   and 

nought at   an to say。  First�察 �the   fair   reverence of   your   Highness   curbs  me 

From   giving   reins   and   spurs   to   my   free   speech�察  �Which   else   would   post 

until   it  had   return'd    These    terms   of   treason   doubled     down     his  throat。 

Setting aside his high blood's royalty�察�And let him be no kinsman to my 

liege�察�I do defy him�察�and I spit at him�察�Call him a slanderous coward and a 

villain�察�Which to maintain�察�I would allow him odds And meet him�察�were I 

tied to run afoot Even to the frozen ridges of the Alps�察�Or any other ground 

inhabitable Where   ever   Englishman   durst   set his   foot。  Meantime   let   this 

defend      my     loyalty´    By    all   my     hopes�察   �most     falsely    doth    he    lie 

BOLINGBROKE。               Pale    trembling     coward�察     �there    I  throw     my    gage�察�

Disclaiming here the kindred of the King�察�And lay aside my high blood's 

royalty�察�Which fear�察�not reverence�察�makes thee to except。 If guilty dread 

have left thee so much strength As to take up mine honour's pawn�察�then 

stoop。 By that and all the rites of knighthood else Will I make good against 

thee�察   �arm    to   arm�察  �What     I  have    spoke     or  thou    canst    worst    devise。 

MOWBRAY。 I take it up�察�and by that sword I swear Which gently laid my 

knighthood        on   my    shoulder     I'll  answer    thee   in   any    fair  degree    Or 

chivalrous   design   of   knightly   trial�察�And   when   I   mount�察  �alive   may   I   not 

light   If   I   be   traitor   or   unjustly   fight�   �KING   RICHARD。   What   doth   our 

cousin lay  to   Mowbray's charge�拭  �It   must be   great   that can inherit   us   So 

much as of a thought of ill in him。 BOLINGBROKE。 Look what I speak�察�

my   life   shall   prove   it   true´   That   Mowbray   hath   receiv'd   eight   thousand 

nobles In name of lendings for your Highness' soldiers�察�The which he hath 

detain'd   for   lewd   employments   Like   a   false   traitor   and   injurious   villain。 

Besides�察  �I   say   and    will   in  battle  prove´   Or   here�察  �or   elsewhere   to     the 

furthest verge That ever was survey'd by English eye´ That all the treasons 

for these eighteen years Complotted and contrived in this land Fetch from 

false Mowbray their first head and spring。 Further I say�察�and further will 

maintain   Upon   his   bad   life   to   make   all   this   good�察  �That   he   did   plot   the

Duke of Gloucester's   death�察�Suggest his  soon´believing adversaries�察�And 

consequently�察�like a traitor coward�察�Sluic'd out his innocent soul through 

streams   of   blood�察�Which   blood�察  �like  sacrificing Abel's�察  �cries�察 �Even   from 

the    tongueless      caverns     of  the   earth�察   �To   me    for   justice    and   rough 

chastisement�察�And�察�by the glorious worth of my descent�察�This arm shall do 

it�察�or this life be spent。 KING RICHARD。 How high a pitch his resolution 

soars� �Thomas   of   Norfolk�察  �what   say'st   thou   to   this�拭  �MOWBRAY。   O�察  �let 

my sovereign turn away his face And bid his ears a little while be deaf�察�Till 

I have told this slander of his blood How God and good men hate so foul a 

liar。 KING RICHARD。 Mowbray�察�impartial are our eyes and cars。 Were he 

my brother�察�nay�察�my kingdom's heir�察�As he is but my father's brother's son�察�

Now by my sceptre's awe I make a vow�察�Such neighbour nearness to our 

sacred blood Should nothing privilege him nor partialize The unstooping 

firmness of my upright soul。 He is our subject�察�Mowbray�察�so art thou�此�Free 

speech   and   fearless   I   to   thee  allow。   MOWBRAY。 Then�察  �Bolingbroke�察  �as 

low   as   to   thy   heart�察  �Through   the   false   passage   of   thy   throat�察  �thou   liest。 

Three     parts   of   that  receipt    I  had   for   Calais    Disburs'd    I  duly    to  his 

Highness'      soldiers�察   �The   other   part   reserv'd    I  by   consent�察  �For   that   my 

sovereign liege was in my debt Upon remainder of a dear account Since 

last I went to France to fetch his queen�此�Now swallow down that lie。 For 

Gloucester's death´ I slew him not�察�but to my own disgrace Neglected my 

sworn      duty   in  that   case。   For   you�察  �my    noble    Lord    of  Lancaster�察    �The 

honourable   father   to   my  foe�察  �Once   did   I   lay  an   ambush   for   your   life�察�A 

trespass     that   doth   vex    my    grieved    soul�察  �But    ere   I  last  receiv'd    the 

sacrament I did confess it�察�and exactly begg'd Your Grace's pardon�察�and I 

hope I had it。 This is my fault。 As for the rest appeal'd�察�It issues from the 

rancour   of   a   villain�察  �A   recreant   and   most   degenerate   traitor�察  �Which   in 

myself   I   boldly   will   defend�察  �And   interchangeably   hurl   down   my   gage 

Upon   this   overweening   traitor's   foot To   prove   myself   a   loyal   gentleman 

Even   in   the   best   blood   chamber'd   in   his   bosom。   In   haste   whereof�察  �most 

heartily I pray Your Highness to   assign our trial day。 KING  RICHARD。 

Wrath´kindled gentlemen�察�be rul'd by me�察�Let's purge this choler without 

letting blood´ This we prescribe�察�though no physician�察�Deep malice makes 

too   deep   incision。   Forget�察  �forgive�察  �conclude   and   be   agreed�此  �Our   doctors
